The REV Theatre Co presents Rumpelstiltskin: Unspun, written by Kyle Adkins

The story of Rumpelstiltskin has been told and retold throughout the ages, despite its obvious flaws. When The Miller’s Daughter starts to question her Father’s poor decision making, her King’s greediness, and the shady deal proposed by a funny little man, the whole fairy tale begins to unravel. The Miller’s Daughter breaks through the fourth wall and enlists the help of the audience to fix her broken story and spin a new tale.

Held in the Morgan Opera House — Free!

This program is generously funded by the Village of Aurora, Aurora Free Library, and Auburn Public Theater Regrants, and is sponsored by CFCU Community Credit Union.
